Placental blood flow is complicated by having maternal and fetal flow components, which makes placental function analysis difficult. Using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the envelope of umbilical venous Doppler spectra, we were able to simultaneously assess both maternal and fetal blood flow in the placenta and investigated if normal and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)/pre-eclamptic pregnancies could be distinguished. This is a retrospective study including normal gestations (N=11) and gestations with intrauterine growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, or both (N=13). Umbilical vein ultrasound pulsed wave spectra were acquired using clinical scanners. Spectral envelopes were identified as a function of time and analyzed by Fourier analysis. Maternal and fetal flow components were identified. Base 10 logarithms of the ratios of the maternal and fetal spectral peaks (LRSP) were compared in normal and IUGR/pre-eclamptic populations (two-tailed t test). Comparisons were also made with body mass index (BMI), gestational age at the time of scanning, fetal weight, placental position, and weight-normalized umbilical vein blood volume flow (two-tailed t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA). P < 0.05 were considered significant. The LRSP for normal and IUGR/pre-eclamptic pregnancies were 0.141±0.180 and −0.072±0.262 (mean ± standard deviation) respectively (p=0.033). We were also able to detect differences between normal gestations and combinations of LRSP and weight-normalized umbilical venous blood flows. Placental effects based on LRSPs and blood flow may act synergistically in cases with both pre-eclampsia and IUGR (p=0.014). There were no significant associations between LRSP and BMI, gestational age at the time of scanning, fetal weight, and placental position (P>0.05). In this preliminary study, we showed that umbilical venous Doppler spectra contain markers related to placental maternal and fetal blood flow, and that these markers can be used to assess IUGR and pre-eclamptic disease states. Further, when coupled with umbilical cord blood flow, this new marker may potentially identify the primary causes of the two conditions.
